Links to MSCDirect.com
If the MSC eight digit SKU number is entered in the toolholder or tool details, on the published Dashboard (*.htm) they will become links that the customer can use to go directly to that item's page on MSCDirect.com. This will make it easier to reorder endmills or to look up specifications.
